BBad,
Thanks for the links ! - No.2 and No.3 don't add much, but No.1 is the winner! Clear as day on the fuselage sides are the bolt etc. holes for the wing attachments. Even to my unskilled eye, it's plain that there was zero AoI. Proof Positive !
Your: "The threads on the provenance of EZ999 has been fascinating reading".
Too true - what have we started here ? (the Smithsonian missed a trick didn't they, [or rather two tricks, for they haven't got an A-35 either], but I wager it's far too late to find enough bits to rebuild any more (Nagpur ?). Pack it in !
NOW LET'S ALL GO BACK TO THE "BREVET" THREAD SHALL WE ? THE "EZ999" THREAD HAS COMPLETELY ACHIEVED ITS PURPOSE, LET IT JUST DRIFT OFF INTO HONOURABLE RETIREMENT.
(I hope Cooda Shooda, "Warbirdz", Slow Flyer and all the others who've helped us to settle the question once and for all find this message).
G'night, all
